With most big names of the 2014 class off the board, getting Gill-Caesar to re-classify from 2015 to 2014 is a huge get for the Missouri program, especially considering the departures of Jabari Brown and Jordan Clarkson, the Tigers' two best backcourt weapons from last year.

Gill-Caesar was ranked 36th in the class of 2015 by 247sports.com and had a litany of offers including Baylor, Kansas, Memphis and Michigan State.

Missouri's hiring of former Huntington Prep head coach Rob Fulford played the biggest role in landing the Canadian wing.

"Having the opportunity to continue coaching Teki is tremendous, not just for me, but my entire family, because we developed such a strong relationship during our two seasons together at Huntington Prep,” Fulford said in an official statement. “Teki is certainly a talent, but he really is a better person. Our fans will see that once they get to know him. He is such a genuine young man and has an engaging personality. He fits the type of student-athlete Coach Anderson will recruit to Mizzou.”

Gill-Caesar was a member of the Canadian U18 team that lost to the United States in the finals of the FIBA Americas Tournament this summer in Colorado and also played for the Nike EYBL program CIA Bounce team this summer.

He joins a 2014 Missouri recruiting class ranked by 247sports.com as the 20th best in the country with other four-star recruits such as forward JaKeenan Gant and guard Namron Wright.
